Minnie Mouse Cupcake Nails: How-To

Why not try something different for your nails this week? How about something cute? Ribbons, bows, polka dots, cupcakes are all design elements of the epitome of cuteness – Minnie Mouse. Well, maybe not cupcakes but they’re cute enough to be part of this tutorial anyway! Today we’ll show you how to do Minnie Mouse inspired nail art. It’s easy and looks fantastic on short nails. If you don’t have time for the whole set, one accent nail of say, a cupcake, will work fine. Just paint your other nails in Minnie Mouse’s signature colours of yellow, white, red and black.

Using a dotting tool, dot with a white polish or acrylic paint – one big dot and two smaller dots, to represent the ears of Mickey Mouse head.

On your ring finger using black acrylic paint, draw a cupcake shape with a little bow on top of the icing. Also paint two little circles at the sides of the bow, to represent the ears of the Minnie Mouse Cupcake.

Fill in the base of the cupcake and the ribbon with red acrylic paint or polish.

On your middle finger: tape your nail about 1/3 from the tip and paint black polish on the nail. Remove tape immediately.

Using red polish, fill in the rest of the middle finger nail which was previously covered by tape.
